  • Patent number: 11891159
    Abstract: The present invention provides an unmanned watercraft capable of sufficiently cooling equipment that generates a large amount of heat, capable of cooling such equipment without using energy in the watercraft, and capable of improving mean time between failures (MTBF) of a cooling device. An unmanned watercraft 1 has a cooling structure CS for cooling a central processing unit CPU1 for image recognition and a central processing unit CPU2 for control that constitute a central processing unit CPU as a heat-generating body. The cooling structure CS includes a waterproof container 7 that accommodates the heat-generating body (an insulating envelope that surrounds the heat-generating body in an electrically insulated state). The waterproof container 7 is arranged outside a submerged part 3 of the unmanned watercraft 1 so as to be in contact with water present outside the unmanned watercraft 1, the submerged part 3 being submerged in water.

  • Publication number: 20170185971
    Abstract: A facility maintenance method updates, in a case where an event having occurred in a facility is determined to fall outside a fault tree, the fault tree such that a cause of occurrence of the event identified through investigation is reflected, and in response to the identified cause of occurrence of the event, identifies a location where a structural element of equipment/material identified to relate to the cause of occurrence of the event is used, based on installation information indicating a location where the equipment/material is installed, to formulate an inspection plan for the identified location.

  • Patent number: 7180176
    Abstract: Heat dissipating plate (4) made of copper-base alloy is proposed that exhibits high degree of flatness after joining in the step of assembling power semiconductor modules, IC packages, etc., that will not crack in the solder (3) joint if subjected to heat cycles during joining or in an environment of use, and that has high heat conductivity and cost effectiveness. The heat dissipating plate (4) uses a copper-base alloy having a 0.2% yield strength of at least 300 N/mm2 which is characterized in that the 0.2% yield strength after heating at 400° C. for 10 minutes is at least 90% of the 0.2% yield strength before heating and that said copper-base alloy has a heat conductivity of at least 350 W/m·K and contains at least one element of the group consisting of Fe, Co and Ni plus P in a total amount of 0.01–0.3%; the heat dissipating plate (4) is 10–200 mm long on each side, 0.
